Abstract: En général, les éoliennes présentent un organe d'entraînement actif servant à les orienter en fonction du sens du vent. Cet organe d'entraînement fait tourner la nacelle de l'éolienne de sorte que les pales du rotor soient orientées dans le sens du vent. Cet organe d'entraînement nécessaire pour l'orientation est en règle général un organe d'entraînement azimutal se trouvant, avec les paliers azimutaux correspondants, entre le sommet de la tour et la nacelle. Dans les petites éoliennes, un organe d'entraînement réglable est suffisant, tandis que les éoliennes de plus grande taille sont équipées de plusieurs organes d'entraînement azimutal. L'invention vise à améliorer l'organe d'entraînement azimutal pour les éoliennes, de façon à supprimer les problèmes susmentionnés, à réaliser un organe d'entraînement azimutal de conception simple, à assurer une répartition homogène des charges pour chaque organe d'entraînement azimutal et à éviter des variations de couple indésirables des organes d'entraînement individuels. L'invention concerne une éolienne comportant une nacelle, dans laquelle est logé un rotor présentant au moins une pale, et comportant une unité de réglage qui permet de régler la nacelle de manière à placer le rotor dans une orientation voulue, dans le sens du vent. L'organe d'entraînement de cette unité de réglage est constitué d'un moteur asynchrone triphasé, qui est alimenté avec un courant triphasé à fréquence variable afin de permettre un réglage de la nacelle.

Abstract: A WCDMA communication system that can provide a smooth data transmission even in a case when the communication rate associated with a communication service requested by a user cannot be obtained due to a lack of resources. In such a case, only when a base station control station (2-1,2-2) can provide a service by use of a communication rate lower than the requested communication rate, instead of compulsorily setting to a lower alternative communication rate, the communication rate for actually effecting a data communication is adjusted between a switching center (1) and the base station control station (2-1,2-2).  As a method of this, an indicator that shows whether the communication rate can be adjusted or not is provided in an RAB setting request to be transmitted from the switching center (1) to the base station control station (2-1,2-2).  Only when the indicator shows that the communication rate can be adjusted, the base station control station (2-1,2-2) decides, in a case of a lack of resources, a communication rate lower than the requested communication rate, and transmits to the switching center (1) an RAB setting response with the decided communication rate included therein. According to this communication rate, a communication service for a user terminal (4) is commenced.

Title: Membrane scaffold proteins
Inventor: SLIGAR STEPHEN G
IPC: C12N1/19
Filed: 2001-11-20
Granted: 2011-02-15
Abstract: Membrane proteins are difficult to express in recombinant form, purify, and characterize, at least in part due to their hydrophobic or partially hydrophobic properties. Membrane scaffold proteins (MSP) assemble with target membrane or other hydrophobic or partially hydrophobic proteins or membrane fragments to form soluble nanoscale particles which preserve their native structure and function; they are improved over liposomes and detergent micelles. In the presence of phospholipid, MSPs form nanoscopic phospholipid bilayer disks, with the MSP stabilizing the particle at the perimeter of the bilayer domain. The particle bilayer structure allows manipulation of incorporated proteins in solution or on solid supports, including for use with such surface-sensitive techniques as scanning probe microscopy or surface plasmon resonance. The nanoscale particles facilitate pharmaceutical and biological research, structure/function correlation, structure determination, bioseparation, and drug discovery.
